PRE-NURSERY Pre-Nursery education has been designed and conceived by our highly experienced Montessori trained Teachers. The child learns to discover, explore and experiment in a stimulating and conducive environment. NURSERY AND PREP Our focus at the pre-primary level is to make the transition between the secure home environment and formal schooling, interesting and as smooth as possible for the child. Emphasis is on nurturing the child's imagination, creativity and providing him opportunities to express himself freely. We lay stress upon developing basic language skills with the help of phonetics and conversation. A sound knowledge of phonetics helps the child to build spellings independently. It is a method of creating environment which fosters the fulfilment of their highest potential.EPL (Exercise of Practical Learning) prepares the children for facing the challenges of everyday life and helps in building concentration. Various celebrations in the school and round-the-year activities allow for self-expression, experimentation and questioning; thereby developing a scientific temper. There is a perfect balance of active and quiet activities, structured, besides the free-play activities. CLASSES I TO II If I cannot learn the way you teach me, Can you not teach me the way I can learn? A child’s mind is like wet cement and needs to be handled with care. A minor scratch may cause damage to the entire personality of the child. Keeping this in mind, we at DPS provide an encouraging atmosphere fused with a lot of fun, so that students shed their inhibitions and learn with a free mind. The methodology that we use to teach the students of classes 1 & 2 is ACTIVITY BASED which involves a lot of co-curricular and curricular activities which assist the children to comprehend and retain the concept in a better way. The curriculum planned focuses more on the depth and is progressive and flexible in approach and is changed according to the fast learner’s need. Assessment at this level is not formal. The children are given activity based assignments to check the retention of the concepts taught. At this level we emphasise more on experiential learning. Our aim is to prepare the children to read, write and do mathematics. We also promote self control and inner discipline in children through appropriate interaction. CLASSES III TO V The child, already familiar with the basic skills in English Language, is now initiated into formal instructions through interactive techniques. The emphasis is on usage and application. In Science the focus is on developing scientific aptitude and making him aware of his/her surroundings. In Mathematics, problem-solving techniques are taught using application based methods. The extra-curricular activities allow them not only to gain confidence but also help them realize their potential in various fields. The important aim at this level is the learning of basics and forming a sound foundation which will enable the child to study more complex topics and problems at the higher levels. CLASSES VI TO XII The course of studies are based on CBSE guidelines, offering formal education in subjects like English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Science, Computer and Third Language. At the +2 level students have the option of three streams viz. Science (both PCM & PCB), Commerce and Humanities.
